1st post this very first day of October. Let us hope for a good month, although our world is in turmoil and will grow more so, I think.
via Wiki Commons, we can enjoy the exquisite equestrian paintings of the French XVII century painter - Joseph Parrocel.
The already known to us Swedish Skokloster Castle contains in their collection the series of 6 XVII century equestrian paintings - as wiki Commons states:
[...] all depicting
Ladies of the
French high court on horseback with similar landscape views in the
background painted for Louis Marie Victoire, Duc d´Aumont.
The
paintings were given as a gift to or bought by the Swedish ambassador
Count Nils Bielke during his stay in Paris 1679-82.
The series were
later transferred from Bielkes castle at Salsta
to Skokloster Castle
in 1756. All six paintings bear the
inscription Pour Monseigr Le Duc
Daumont on the back of the canvas.
